Last week I got to the shuttle early and just sat in the van waiting for it to leave. The driver that morning had cranked the stereo to the classic soul hits station (whatever that is) and left to go wander around. Everyone in it was tired and looking kind of grumpy. That is, until "It Takes Two" came on.

I put down my paper. The guy in front of me got on his cell phone to call a friend just so he could blast his song over the phone. The guy next to me started tapping along to the beat. And my coworker sitting behind me, who had her head leaning against the back of my seat and who had just spent the previous couple of minutes complaining how tired she was, very subtly started bouncing in her seat.

Now that's what I call a good song.
